Products That Can Help You Breathe A Little Easier
Lennox offers a wide variety of indoor air quality products designed to make your home more comfortable. At a minimum, every home comfort system should provide humidity control, high-efficiency air cleaning and a controlled source of outdoor air for ventilation. If you are particularly sensitive to your indoor environment due to severe asthma or allergies, you may want to upgrade your system for increased comfort levels and even better IAQ. This can be done by adding components such as electronic air cleaners, air purifiers, heat recovery ventilators and energy recovery ventilators.
Electronic air cleaners (EAC's) and high efficiency air filters help clean the air and provide respiratory relief by removing dust, dirt and pollen. They are designed to trap even microscopic particles, so cleaner air is circulated back into your home.
Humidifiers add moisture to every room in your home to soften harsh, dry air. The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) recommends that the relative humidity in your home should be between 30-60 % to minimize the growth of bacterial and biological organisms. Using a humidifier can help you to maintain this standard, and help you stay comfortable at lower thermostat levels.
Humidity controls adjust the relative humidity inside your home without affecting room temperature. Proper humidity levels will make your home feel more comfortable and can provide better energy efficiency.
Carbon monoxide detectors provide constant monitoring of your indoor air to detect unsafe levels of carbon monoxide. In addition to having carbon monoxide detectors, it is strongly recommended that you have fuel-burning appliances (such as gas clothes dryers and furnaces) and venting systems maintained on a regular basis to eliminate potential carbon monoxide-related dangers that they may pose. Choose a high quality detector for more effective detection.
Air purifiers inhibit the growth of biological organisms that may be present in your home. These include products such as ultraviolet lights and microbiocide treated air filters. Odor removal can be accomplished through the use of charcoal activated air filters.
Heat recovery ventilators (HRV's) and energy recovery ventilators (ERV's) bring fresh air into your house and exhaust stale air out. HRV's conserve energy from indoor conditioned air, and transfer it to the outdoor air as it's brought in your home to provide adequate ventilation. ERV's provide the additional benefit of maintaining desired humidity levels to help keep you comfortable.
